Military-Connected Students Studying Abroad

Studying abroad gives you the opportunity to learn critical language skills, gain leadership skills, and increase your international understanding. Your tuition benefits may be able to help you fund your abroad experience. Stay organized and work with your officers, advisors, and education abroad staff to find the best program for you.

Things to Consider

  • How do local people perceive the US military and my time in the service?
  • How long am I able to be away? 
  • Will I list my military service on my visa application? If so, how?
  • Can I use my VA benefits, ROTC scholarship, or other military aid to study abroad? 
    • If you receive Post 9/11 GI Bill funds, you may be able to use that money to help pay for your education abroad program. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has created a sheet to explain what GI Bill funds might cover. Please contact cavs@kent.edu if you have any questions.
